We had a hailstorm up in the high cascades back in mid August, for about 40 minutes it looked like early November.

yup it looked like it snowed but bigger. the cars looked like someone sledge hammer to them and went to town. i forget what the damage estimates were but they were up there. i feel sorry for the people in that little town but that was mild.

Good morning everyone.

Ed, from what i've heard from others with HID's in our style trucks they go very well with the clear lenses like mine. Much better light pattern than with the stock style lenses...
